Chapter 250: Returning Home
"The Lu family has a big business, and Miss Lu is so good, I wonder if Mrs. is looking for a good husband for Miss?"
But no matter how powerful her mouth is, she is also doing the work of taking money to speak for others, and after going around and around, Liu Po finally led the topic to the point.
In fact, these days, matchmakers continue to come to the door to say goodbye, not only Lu Qian feels annoyed, but Jiang Ping is also a little broken every day. But people are matchmakers, although it is not a question of high status, but it cannot be offended, everyone has a network, once one of them is offended, the reputation of the family is basically ruined. Unless it is a particularly good family condition, it is unlikely that you want to find a suitable family affair.
Therefore, everyone is afraid of the matchmaker's mouth, not to mention the door-to-door kiss, but whenever you meet on the road, you have to say hello, in this era when marriage still relies on the "words of the matchmaker", the matchmaker really can't offend.
Jiang Ping naturally knows this truth. So these days, no matter how annoying she is, she still accompanies her politely. Although Lu Qian is now with Liu Yu, after all, it has not really been decided, Liu Dasheng is good at talking, but Liu Dasheng's father and mother, that is, Liu Yu's grandfather and grandmother, are not good, they were famous for disliking their daughter-in-law back then, and now that they are granddaughter-in-law, it is estimated that it will not be much better. Therefore, before marrying into the Liu family, Lu Qian's reputation must not have a half-point difference.
"Still ......"
Jiang Ping originally wanted to say that it had been decided, but after thinking about it, the Liu family had not yet clearly put it forward, and it seemed that she was a little self-inflicted when she said this. So I changed my tune. It's still undecided.
"Tut-tut, like Miss Lu's conditions, it is estimated that the threshold of this Lujiazhuang will be trampled by the person who said it was pro. But I don't know about the others, but I have a particularly good one-"
encountered a topic, Liu Po hurriedly said the point.
"But my Qianqian is a country girl, if it's too good, I'm afraid she won't be worthy."
Jiang Ping wanted to refuse tactfully.
Although she didn't know why these matchmakers all came to the door to say goodbye, she also heard the rumors in the village, and the matchmaker's visit was probably related to the rumors.
I don't know who is rotten and messy, but there are people in the south who are spreading the road everywhere. In order to be afraid that the illegitimate child would come back to fight for the family property, she wanted to use all the Lu family's property as Lu Qian's dowry. This is just nonsense. It must be because of the property involved in the dowry that these matchmakers gathered to come to the door like chicken blood.
To put it mildly, sometimes Jiang Ping would rather hope that Lu Yishou really has someone in the south, which is much better than him being locked up in prison now.
"Madame, what are these words? Miss Lu's character and appearance. I'm afraid that many people want to ask for it but can't ask for it. Where is there any such thing as worthiness or unworthiness? ”
I guess I talked too much about thirst. Liu Po took another sip of tea. The cup was originally not big, and it bottomed out in an instant.
"Then, I don't know if my mother-in-law has anything to introduce?"
Jiang Ping asked Yinhua to refill a glass for Liu Po. Looking at her, he asked with a smile.
Lu Yishou didn't figure out anything about it, and Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang didn't know where they were now. Especially Qinglang, for this matter, I have recently seen that Lu Meijiao's confidence has weakened a little, what can I do, other people's children may still be Lu Yishou's life-saving benefactor.
There are so many things accumulated in my heart, but I still have to deal with this inexplicable and wonderful matchmaker. Jiang Ping wanted to be more direct, so she ended this conversation early.
"Don't hide it from Mrs., I don't know how other people's families are, and it's not me who brags, I have this on hand, it's really ...... The family background, character, and appearance are all good, and the shops on the entire street in Qingkou Town belong to their family. He is the only son in the family, although he has an older sister, but they are all married. If Miss Lu marries him, her future life can be called worry-free, and she is responsible for dressing up gracefully and luxuriously every day, and she doesn't need to think about other firewood, rice, oil and salt. ”
Liu Po's eyebrows danced, and she almost sprayed the saliva that flew out on the coffee table in front of her.
Jiang Ping immediately denied it as she had just done, but was silent for a while.
Recently, she has been wasting time with these matchmakers who come to the door so tirelessly, in addition to maintaining a good relationship with these people and leaving a good reputation for Lu Qian; There is another reason, that is, although Lu Yishou likes Liu Dasheng's family very much and wants to marry Lu Qian, Jiang Ping is not particularly satisfied.
Not to mention that there are still two difficult old men above Liu Yu, no matter how good the Liu family's family background is, it is only in Niutou Village. Lu Qian has only transferred from a countryman in one village to a countryman in another village, and has not changed at all.
Looking at the matchmakers who kept coming to the door to say goodbye, Jiang Ping came up with an idea, no matter what reason these matchmakers came to the door, anyway, the Lu family's family business is a fact there, if you can find someone better than the Liu family, it will be a good thing. Even if it is known to the Liu family in the future, Liu Dasheng can't blame the Lu family, who told them not to come to the door earlier?
What disappointed Jiang Ping was that these days, although there are many matchmakers who come to the door, the objects of marriage are not good, either farmers or guys, and a few are even poor scholars with poor families. These people don't need to talk about the Lu family, even if they are from a better family in Quanxiu Village, they won't want it.
But today, if it is really like what Liu Po said in front of her, Jiang Ping can think about it.
"The conditions are so good, I'm afraid Qianqian won't be worthy......"
Jiang Ping still had haha on her face.
"Mrs. Lu really doesn't have to be so modest, the conditions of the Lu family, the conditions of Miss Lu, we all know it, if Mrs. is afraid of my mother-in-law, what I say is false, you can follow me to Qingkou Town to have a look. Anyway, it's close, just a few steps away. ”
Liu Po saw Jiang Ping's thoughts, and felt that there was a drama in this matter. Quickly added a fire.
"Mrs. Liu, you don't think it's as good as this, Qianqian's age is not too small, but it's not too big, but she has reached the age where she can be sensible, and I can't just make decisions about this matter, I have to discuss it with her. And the master is also out of town, so I really can't be the master of this matter alone. However, since both parties live not far away, they can get acquainted and familiar with each other first. ”
Jiang Ping's words can be regarded as a disguised and vague agreement to this family business, but it is impossible for her to agree on the surface, at least at present.
"That's okay, that's what Mrs. Lu said. I will go back first, and tell Liu Gongzi and his family the good news first, and let them rest easy. Another day, the two sides walked around and got to know each other. ”
Seeing Jiang Ping like this, Liu Po no longer insisted. Anyway, that's the end of today's topic, it's already good that she can talk about this, and it's not like going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and it's impossible to ask people to agree to it at once.
So as soon as Ye Xiaoyu and the others arrived at the door of Lujiazhuang, they saw an old woman wearing a red jacket hurriedly coming out of it, and when they saw Ye Xiaoyu and their group, they stared at it twice.
That's right, Ye Xiaoyu and they are back.
After a fourteen-day trek, they set foot on the land of Quanxiu Village again.
Because of the presence of the old rivers and lakes of Lu Yishou and the hiring of a carriage, the journey back is much easier than when I go. Although Sunny still stubbornly rode his horse.
Lu Yishou had just come out of the prison, and in order to take care of his physical condition, Ye Xiaoyu specially explained to the coachman to slow down and rest while walking, which only took fourteen days.
The Lu family's compound was empty, and after returning here for more than two months, Ye Xiaoyu had a feeling of being separated from the world. The things in this compound seem to have changed nothing, but it seems that everything has changed.
"Ma'am, Qianqian—we're back—"
As soon as he stepped into the compound, Lu Yishou began to shout. Although he knew that with the volume of his voice, it might not be able to reach Beiyuan.
"Qianqian—"
Lu Yishou shouted all the way.
"Sir?"
Lao Geng was the first to hear Lu Yishou's voice, and he didn't react for a while.
"Madame, Miss, the master is back, it's the master-"
When he slowly approached and found that it was really Lu Yishou and Ye Xiaoyu, Lao Geng also began to shout excitedly towards the house, his voice full of trembling.
The noisy voice attracted Lu Qian's attention, thinking that it was another matchmaker who came to the door and walked out of the door reluctantly, but saw Lu Yishou and Ye Xiaoyu at a glance.
Tears poured out in an instant, but his mouth couldn't say anything.
"Old man......"
Hearing the voice, Jiang Ping also walked out of the hall, and saw that it was Lu Yishou, but his feet could no longer move, just standing under the eaves, like when he first married to the Lu family more than ten years ago, looking at the people in the courtyard blankly, and the voice was whispered only by himself.
"What's the matter, you two, I haven't seen each other for a long time, don't you know each other?"
Seeing that the two were stunned, Lu Yishou stepped forward, patted Jiang Ping's shoulder, touched Lu Qian's head again, and quipped.
"Daddy—"
was touched by Lu Yishou like this, Lu Qian came back to his senses, and immediately hugged him and cried.
Jiang Ping stood beside him, although it was not as exaggerated as Lu Qian's crying, but he was also in tears.
Although she has been praying in her heart that Lu Yishou can come back safely, she also knows that prayer is prayer, Lu Yishou has violated the royal law and is locked in prison, how can it be so easy to get out. But I didn't expect that the prayer really worked, and I really saw Lu Yishou in the courtyard of the Lu family.
It's like going south every year to buy and sell and return to your hometown.
"Sunny - !! My son, you have finally come back safely, do you know how worried my mother is when I go to such a far place?? ”
Lu Meijiao also heard the voice, twisted her steps out, and saw Qinglang standing behind Ye Xiaoyu at a glance, so she instantly changed her mode and began to roar hoarsely.
Qinglang didn't have any special reaction, just turned her head to look at Lu Meijiao.
"Come, hurry up and let my mother see, what's hurt? Look at what a young man, darkened and thin—"
Although Lu Meijiao said the latter sentence to Qinglang, she said it to Lu Yishou and Jiang Ping. (To be continued......)
